About Us

JD Westport (JDW) serves as a strategic partner for owner-CEOs, offering management expertise that spans from startup ventures to companies up to 150 employees. Our core competencies include preparing for critical meetings, resolving intricate issues, adeptly navigating dynamic business landscapes, and facilitating successful mergers and acquisitions.

As lifelong learners with decades of owner-CEO experience, we bring an accountability perspective to the table without internal bias. We are peers who will help keep you accountable to the goals you want to achieve. By engaging in candid discussions about leadership issues and critical pain points your company is facing, you’ll feel less isolated as we unearth solutions head-on.

Operating as a lean business, we assist in implementing decision structures to ensure swift, strategic accomplishments throughout the year that align with your top priorities. We encourage lean principles that result in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and increasing productivity and morale.

What sets us apart?

Unlike traditional consulting firms, our advisors bring firsthand experience from successfully scaling and selling companies that they owned. Drawing from similar experiences, we offer an outsider’s view with an insider perspective, grounding our discussions in what’s best for your organization. Our goal is to enhance your leadership well-being through focused, measurable efforts.

“Becoming a CEO is unexpectedly lonely.”
